@Eightoffires: I have been playing more with the deck (the only deck I have built on modo atm, so really no other options) and I am really liking the Worlds build. The sideboard is awesome against Red Deck and Boros (the worst matchups) and the deck is still strong against the slower decks. I have actually been testing 1x Corpse Connoisseur over the Ponder main, as I find the tutoring ability often enables me to cobble together a win if I don’t hit enough flying guys in my top 20-30 cards. I will be posting more about the deck over the weekend after holiday madness subsides

Im thinking about running this deck in states, ill probably run the worlds sb but i think i wana try and see if i can’t run a transformational sb. i went 4-1 in last nights fnm losing to vamps the first round cause it was my frst time playing the deck and i wasnt exactly sure what i was doing. All other rounds i pretty much demolished…even won a game on a mul down to 2… to be fair she only played 2 cards, an elspeph and a baneslayer due to color screw in three color.

Anywho im thinking about running a third fatesticher instead of the ponder from the worlds deck because that guy is insane, u usually only need one while ur going off but having another to tap down a giant 5 / 5 life link first striking flier just makes life easy.

Anyone have ideas for a transformational sb?

@ReAnimator: As mentioned in the article, the author WillPopgoestheweasel, was taking a break from MtG due to being busy with other stuff. Although the deck has been revealed over the past few weeks already, I still found this a refreshing read as 1) I do not play the deck 2) I have no idea on its good/bad matchups.

Welcome to 2 weeks ago where everyone else found out about this deck. Not to mention that is the original list that was obviously sub optimal and there have already been changes made to it by anyone playing this. This “Article” offers no new info (this looses to red and boros!! surprise no one knew that) offers no solutions to problems, no cards to try out, and again is really old news.

What was the point of writing this?

Ruinblaster is in no way an autolose. You run grim discovery, and with fatestitcher you may not even have to play crypt until you want to go off. The real problem is boros.

I’m pretty sure I could make a 5-3 deck that doesn’t automatically lose to Goblin Ruinblaster. Like Vampires or something.

If you are worried about not having a Crypt, can you sneak in a copy or two of expedition map? It works for the valakut/emeria decks.
